“Customer-oriented services are at the heart of everything we do. There has been much demand for Liiga’s return to terrestrial television, and effortless collaboration with Digita was what made it possible for us to quickly respond to this demand,” Emmi Vainionpää, Head of Distribution at MTV, says with delight.

“We are very happy that Liiga matches are returning to terrestrial television and that we are able to offer viewers the opportunity of watching them on the big screen. Terrestrial television’s pay-TV channel offerings now serve sports fans better than ever. Offering the whole Telia Liigapassi channel package in the form of Hybrid Beta channels is an excellent example of the adaptability and versatility of Hybrid TV services,” says Ossi Ilveskoski, Director of Pay TV Services at Digita.
